Humans walked on the moon for the first time July 20, 1969, achieving a goal President John F. Kennedy had set in 1961.

According to nasa.gov, astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin took the first steps on the moon, walking around the site for more than two hours collecting rock and soil samples, setting up experiments, famously planted the American flag and left behind medallions honoring the Apollo 1 crew along with a plaque stating, “We came in peace for all mankind.”
